U ITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,

LUDOLPH A. FULLGBAFF, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT lN PACKlNG-BO XES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 135,108, dated January 21, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUDOLPH A. FULL- GRAFF, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Packing-Box, of which the following is a specification:

My invention consists of a packing-box formed, as to its sides or body, of wood, and as to its top and bottom of paper, thus constituting a new article of manufacture, cheaper and lighter than other boxes of its class, and yet equally serviceable.

The drawing is a longitudinal sectional elevation of a box constructed according to my invention.

A represents the sides of the bottom portion of the box; B, the sides of the top portion, and E represents the rabbets in the sides A at the top to receive the sides B, which are only as thick as the depth of the rabbets. Thus I produce wood packing-boxes equally as suitable for the purposes for which the common paper boxes are used as the said paper v the planing-tools being prolonged in part suitably for the purpose.

Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent As a new article of manufacture, the packing-box herein described, formed of the wooden body and paper cover and bottom, as specified.

LUDOLPH A. FULLGRAFF.
